Brake Repairs = Specialized Care

Heavy-duty rucks utilize sophisticated compressed air brake systems, vastly different from the hydraulic brakes found in smaller vehicles. This system relies on air pressure to operate effectively, making routine maintenance and repair a task for specialists. At Southside Diesel Repair, our mechanics are not just skilled; they’re specialists in the nuances of these systems. 

We understand the intricacies of air compressors, air reservoirs, brake chambers, and the complex network of valves and hoses that make up your truck's braking system. Our expertise ensures your brakes are always responsive and reliable, minimizing downtime and keeping you safe on the road.

What Are the Signs of a Failing Driveshaft?

The driveshaft is a critical component, transmitting power from the engine to the wheels. Recognizing the signs of a failing driveshaft can prevent more serious issues. Look out for:

Vibrations Underneath the Vehicle: Excessive vibrations may indicate an issue with the driveshaft. These can stem from worn-out U-joints or center bearings, compromising the driveshaft's balance.

Abnormal Noises: Listen for unusual noises such as clunking, scraping, or rattling. These sounds often suggest the driveshaft components are deteriorating.

Difficulty Turning: If the driveshaft is failing, you might experience resistance or unusual feedback when turning the vehicle.

Shuddering During Acceleration: A shuddering sensation upon acceleration is a tell-tale sign of driveshaft trouble, often pointing to worn U-joints or bushings.

Visible Wear or Damage: Regular inspections may reveal physical damage to the driveshaft, such as cracks, rust, or wear, which can lead to failure if unaddressed.
